Heidi Klum Retires: A Lingerie History

Thanks for the memories

This is a historic day: the day that Heidi Klum decided to retire from a very specific form of modeling: walking down catwalks wearing lingerie. Seriously, there are news stories about this. Now that she's 40, Heidi has had enough of marching up and down the runway in angel wings and sheer capes. As serious historians, we looked back on her run and concluded: it was pretty damn great. But you should decide for yourself.
